New Zealand's batsmen have made no significant advances on the latest PriceWaterhouseCoopers Test rankings but Chris Cairns has leapt four places on the bowling list into sixth place.

Australia's Glenn McGrath heads the bowlers, followed by Shaun Pollock (South Africa), Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka), Allan Donald (South Africa) and Darren Gough (England).

Interestingly, given some of his bowling for Australia during the recent Test series with New Zealand, Jason Gillespie is listed one behind Cairns, while Shane Warne is two spots behind.

Pakistan's Waqar Younis and Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas round out the top 10.

The next highest New Zealand is Daniel Vettori, who slumped two places to 21st. Dion Nash is ranked 23rd, Chris Martin 31 equal, Shayne O'Connor 33rd.

Shane Bond is the biggest mover on the table by advancing 29 places to 67th but clearly with a bullet.

Mark Richardson is the highest-placed New Zealand batsman in 13th place, having dropped one place. Next is Craig McMillan in 17th equal while Cairns is 25th equal. Nathan Astle is 29th, one ahead of Stephen Fleming. Mathew Sinclair is in 41st position.

On the all-rounders' table, Cairns is still ranked third behind the South Africans Pollock and Jacques Kallis.
